A couple of months ago I came across the Atlanta painters meet-up, a group of artists that gets together to paint in plein-air. Plein air is French for "in the open air" and generally describes the act of painting out doors.Since discovering the meet-up group, I've met with them a couple of times and it's been great. An artist's life in the studio can be lonely, so this is a great opportunity to hang out and enjoy the outdoors with a bunch of people who also love to paint. This painting is from my last meeting with them at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.
